Most problems in learning chats aren’t “Telegram issues” — they’re role issues. When nobody owns hygiene, knowledge, and support, everything collapses into heroics by 1–2 people.

A minimal role model

Admin (operations)

Owns:

  • schedule, links, permissions
  • logistics communication (what/where/when)
  • escalation paths

Moderator (hygiene)

Owns:

  • question format and threads
  • spam/off-topic control
  • rule reminders

Mentor/expert (quality)

Owns:

  • complex questions and key explanations
  • review of outcomes
  • improving best practices

Knowledge curator

Owns:

  • FAQ, digests, “best answers”
  • keeping the knowledge base healthy
  • newcomer navigation

Rituals that keep the system alive

  • weekly digest (10 minutes)
  • FAQ updates (15 minutes)
  • review “repeats of the week” (what people can’t find)
